Draggers

Could they adjust the timing of their seasons or areas that they are allowed to fish?

I see the Nushagak has missed it's lower escapement goal 5 of the last 6 years shown on the graph.

That's not pizza, it's dessert!

One thing to remember is keep the body thin, better to err on the thin side than the fat side.

There is a TON of info on the internet if you look for it. A bunch of lakes between Merritt and hwy 24 that offer everything from paved roads to goat trails to get to and resorts to rec sites to stay in. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. plants over 800 lakes in bc and has published info...

I used to drive up there a couple times a year, not willing to hike that far unless I camped.

We used to fish for quill backs and copper rock fish on the edges of the kelp, we'd keep a couple for dinner. I prefer them to lings for eating. It was a blast but those days are gone.

I've caught some bigger bull trout up there so I don't think it is unavailable to anadromous fish.

No, there was always a small group of guys who did it regularly but not like the last few years.

The "Trout" fishery in the spring has become pretty popular on the Nookie. Too many guys fishing for kings and Steelhead.

I caught one out of the George hole In September, dime bright 10#er

I've seen them in the Skagit on even years. A few years ago I was up above Marblemount and saw the tail portion of a pink laying in the shallows.

Another sad commentary on the state of fishing in Washington.

I cut my Steelhead fly fishing teeth on a 10' 7wt RPL, wish I still had it but I left it leaning against a bush one day. Now I have a 10' 7wt Echo, plenty of rod for me.

I wish they would hand out yellow cards for flopping, some of those guys are shameless. You watch the replay and the guy was barely touch, yet he's rolling around on the ground like his leg is broken. You really don't see that in the women's game.

The problem the US has is most of our best athletes are playing other sports, it will take a long time for us to break through that barrier.
